A multidisciplinary team from BBVA Technology América participated in the 2026 edition of the AWS Agentic Builders League, an Amazon Web Services initiative designed to strengthen the capabilities of developers, architects, and technical specialists in designing and implementing solutions based on agentic artificial intelligence.
Throughout the program, nearly 300 professionals from public- and private-sector organizations across industries such as financial services, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, and government participated in remote training sessions combining theoretical content, hands-on workshops, and practical labs focused on architectures capable of reasoning, making decisions, and taking actions autonomously using AWS technologies.
From Learning to a Functional MVP
The initiative concluded with an in-person hackathon held in Mexico City, where 62 teams from companies across the country developed intelligent agent-based solutions to address real business challenges.
The BTA team designed and implemented a functional MVP of a conversational assistant focused on helping employees explore and enroll in employee benefits. The project was developed using the Working Backwards methodology, starting with the definition of the business case and value proposition, followed by the design of the technical architecture and development of the solution using the capabilities and services explored throughout the program.
During his stay, his day starts by addressing pending matters from Spain, and then he fully joins local initiatives in Mexico. He takes part in daily meetings, sessions with coordinators, and gatherings with all Core Banking teams to align progress and strengthen transatlantic collaboration.
Learning Today to Build the Future
Participants agreed that this edition was a particularly valuable experience, as the approach evolved from the traditional Game Day format toward building real-world solutions with the potential for adoption within organizations. This provided an opportunity to put the knowledge acquired during the training sessions into practice while addressing a scenario closely aligned with the challenges we face in our day-to-day work.
They also highlighted the value of BTA’s participation in initiatives like this, as they help us stay at the forefront of technology trends, develop skills that can be immediately applied to projects across the organization, and gain a deeper understanding of how agentic AI is transforming software development and enterprise solutions.
The team expressed special thanks to BBVA Technology América for promoting and facilitating these learning opportunities and encouraged all employees to take advantage of future training programs and technology competitions. Beyond the results achieved, experiences like these strengthen individual capabilities, foster multidisciplinary collaboration, and bring acquired knowledge back into the organization to continue driving innovation and the Group’s technology strategy.
